Hey Everyone! we have uploaded an attempt at the bundleID bugfix, please let us know if it works now! We do not have access to physical playdate hardware so we will have to rely on you for feedback on the sideloading process! Please let us know if it still doesn't work for you in the comments!
Hi Sgungilee! We're sorry to hear that. We haven't tested it with an actual playdate as none of us own the device. We developed and tested it on the Playdate Simulator on Windows and MacOS. Please let us know if that is also running into issues. We would love to help :)
Hi, I'm getting the same error message as Sgungilee, so I can confirm that it's not just a problem on their side. It gives the error message right from the sideload page on the Playdate website, not allowing it to be sideloaded on Playdate.
Hi Julien, I understand. The issue is arising because we cannot test the game on an actual physical playdate device since none of us possess it. For now, it is only playable on the playdate SDK software (it's why we didn't include the sideload instructions). We hope to some day get our hands on an actual playdate console and playtest on it so we can serve the lovely playdate community ^_^! (for now we are students and umm... the playdate is kinda pricey and hard to get our hands around)
We hope you're doing well. Could you try to redownload and sideload it again? We tried to resolve the bundleID/pdxinfo error but cannot check on our end since none of us own the device
Hi! I just tested it and it now works! It sideloaded correctly. When I launch the game it says "warning", with an empty box underneath, and I have to press A to launch the game, first time I saw that on a Playdate game.
But once the game is loaded, it plays correctly, I managed the roots all the way down!

Sideloading error (Play date)bundleID field is missing from pdxinfo.

We're glad it finally works! Thank you for testing and getting back to us! Hopefully we'll make more projects for you :))))))))))
Could you try to re-download and run it now? We tried to resolve the bundleID error but can't really check for it on our end
It works. Thanks
Thank you for testing it and getting back to us ^-^ <3
